What a very interesting, informative and fascinating exposition of this silver masterpiece and thank goodness it survived the Bolsheviks’ destruction. Fabergé’s exquisite objects encompass such a wide range from ornamental tops on parasols, electrical table buttons, opera glasses etc., to this magnificent frame and it is a pleasure for once not to see him defined by his Easter eggs, which, though undoubtedly beautiful and his most famous objects, are by no means the majority of what he produced. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your comment! So glad you enjoyed the video. Here’s some more information on the frame: www.russianhistorymuseum.org/2021/07/15/grand-duke-konstantin-faberge-presentation-frame/
I wonder if those Palaces are still around, and if so, what are they being used for... An update would be interesting to see the buildings and their use in today's time.
Thank you! Vera and one brother managed to escape with their mother from the Bolscheviks, when the Nazi took over Germany, she and her brother went to E coast of America. I think their mother died in Germany.
Thanks. I did not listen to all her talk, but why did she call her brother "Ioan" instead of the usual "Ivan"? Was Ivan not formal enough? Also, when I heard Faberge I was expecting something like his eggs. This table was much less impressive. Finally, how come she became poor? didn't she have any of her money outsid RUssia, especially after the upheavals and the protests well before the actual Bolshevik Revolution? Does not mke any sense to me. THe Czar was supposed to be the richest person on the planet in the 19th century and possibly the early 20th.
The Romanovs and other members of the nobility such as the Yusupovs lost a majority of their wealth during the revolution as they had to flee Russia or risked being killed. Vera calls her brother Ioann because that what his name. not Ivan.
Wonderful ! Merry Christmas to you and your colleagues. Best wishes from Scotland. 🏴
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too! (or should we say "Nollaig Chridheil")
I hope. They feature this guy and this type of filmed video style more often. He’s great

They are all museums with the exception of ostashevo estate which is now just a shell of a building
Built on the misery of serfdom
@@pauljorgensen6608 unlike the dachas built by Stalin and his goons? Laughable. Go peddle your socialism at the DNC.

Read history and educate yourself before you put on dumb comments

How can she be a great granddaughter when they all died and didn't have kids? I think u mean niece
She was the great granddaughter of Nicholas I, not Nicholas II
